Insiders have said several times that the team wasn't very high on Lance.

Their thought was that he doesn't fit Joe Brady's system.

Fair enough. If that’s the case I am surprised they put on the QB smoke screen to not take any deals down. Maybe they didn’t want to take a chance on losing Horn.

Man some of y’all can find any way to make something negative. It’s literally been ONE round of the draft jeez at least wait until it’s over to declare the Panthers incompetent.

They were most likely bluffing.  Not in the way you're thinking though.  They were trying to drum up as much value for trading back as possible or hoping a team would trade in front of them to take Fields so someone else (probably Sewell) would fall and it obviously didnt work like they had hoped.

Panther fans have no reason to hate Sam Darnold. We ALL want him to do well. We just have no reason to believe that all of a sudden he's going to transform into anything that he hasn't always been. 

Panthers are making a habit of getting guys with known problems and limitations and hoping they magically morph into something different on their team.

Makes me wonder if they were still hoping a QB they liked fell to them. We know it wasn’t Fields or Jones. I think it was Lance, my favorite all along

See above.

We've been told by more than one source that the Panthers didn't like Lance and thought his skill set was a mismatch for Joe Brady's offense

Person stated a while back that the Panthers didn't think that much of any of the quarterbacks outside the top two. The result of the draft would seem to bear that out.

Kind of like Teddy Bridgewater without an offensive mind like Sean Payton? I detest the Saints but if they can go to the playoffs with two gloves and our staff can't string together some wins with Darnold it is going to start looking iffy.

They didnt even go to his 2nd pro day.  We didnt want him, Mac and Fields apparently.

I'm not so sure about that.

We just didn't get an offer we liked / apparently loved Horn. Two of the highly coveted QBs were there at our pick.

I am.

Jeremy Fowler actually said a little before the draft that the Panthers were putting it out there that they could take a quarterback but some teams weren't buying it.

Once the report got out that they weren't picking up Darnold's option yet, multiple analysts jumped on it to say that it meant we were probably taking a quarterback.

I bet after Lance went #3, they wanted Sewell most likely. Would have been a slam dunk pick. And then you could have gotten Asante Samuel Jr in the 2nd round. Horn was probably like guy number 4-5 on their list for pick 8.

College coach syndrome 

guys are just a little bit of good feelings and Coach ‘Em Up away from being a tear jerking success story

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
